Q: how to define a variable in laravel blade How can define a variable in the view side(blade) in laravel?
I found that I can do it in this way:
<?php $var = 'something' ?>

But is there any way to do this like {{ $var = 'something' }} or @var1 = 'something' ?(ofcourse  without printing it)

A: no, there is no way to define a variable with blade syntax except using the php syntax you have pointed. actually it is not a good practice to define variables in your views and do complex stuff except loops and conditional statements

A: I agree with @Kiril Ivanov answer, but if you still want to do that you can use
@php ($variable = 'test')

Thanks

A: yes there is a way to do this
first assign your variable like this
{{ $yourvariable='' }}

and after than u can manipulate the variable
@if ($abc['type']=='youresult')
          {{ $yourvariable='success'}}

@endif

Hpe this works

The Heiresses (2018) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): As she tentatively steps out of her hermetic life
Posted on January 2, 2019 by kaist455
"The Heiresses", which was selected as Paraguay's entry for Best Foreign Language Film Oscar at the 2019 Academy Awards in last year, is a small but impressive drama about a plain middle-aged woman happening to struggle alone during the absence of her longtime companion. While there are several gloomy moments of sadness and melancholy as we watch her isolated world crumbling bit by bit, the movie also closely observes how she tentatively steps out of her hermetic life, and it is quietly touching when she eventually becomes a lot more active than before.
In the beginning, the movie slowly establishes the deteriorating financial circumstance of Chela (Ana Brun) and her longtime companion Chiquita (Margarita Irún), who have lived together for many years in Chela's big family residence located somewhere in Asunción. As reflected by the title of the film, there was a time when they were rich and affluent, but now they have mostly depended on selling paintings, furnitures, and other expensive items in Chela's residence, and the opening scene shows two potential buyers looking for anything to buy as Chela watches them from the distance.
While observing the daily life of Chela and Chiquita, we get to know a bit more about how their longtime relationship have worked. While Chela mostly sticks to her daily routine within her residence, Chiquita is the one who has taken care of many things including their financial matters, and it is soon revealed to us that she is going to be imprisoned for several months at least due to some financial fraud involved with their debt. Chiquita remains calm and resigned about that, but Chela is understandably concerned about how she will live alone without Chiquita. They have a maid who was recently hired, but Pati (Nilda Gonzalez) is not so reliable to say the least, and, to Chela's frustration, she does not handle daily tasks as well as Chiquita.
Anyway, Chela has no choice but to keep on alone while routinely visiting Chiquita at the prison. Her close friend Carmela (Margarita Irún) is willing to help as much as she can, but Chela does not want that because of her remaining pride and dignity, which she has to suppress whenever potential buyers come to her residence. While she refuses to sell a certain piece of furniture at a lower price at one point, that furniture is eventually sold later and then replaced with a smaller and tackier one, and she also has to sell an antique musical instrument which seems quite precious to her as shown from a brief moment.
Meanwhile, there comes an unexpected chance to earn extra money via Pituca (María Martins), an old lady who is one of Chela's close neighbors. When she asks Chela whether Chela can drive her to a routine card game meeting, Chela reluctantly accepts Pituca's request mainly because she does not want Pituca to delve more into her ongoing domestic difficulties, and she soon finds herself becoming a de facto driver for not only Pituca but also other old ladies in that card game meeting. She initially does not accept the money given to her for her service, but she comes to swallow her pride and dignity in the end, and the movie subtly accentuates her downgraded status, especially when it shows her waiting alone outside a drawing room where that card game meeting is being held.
As continuing to drive for Pituca and other old ladies, Chela encounters a young woman named Angy (Ana Ivanova). While spending more time with her, Chela cannot help but drawn to this spirited lass who is quite different from her in many aspects. Although she does not smoke, she allows herself to smoke a bit when Angy offers a cigarette, and she also tries to wear sunglasses for looking a little more glamorous. As days go by, she feels more of the growing wish and desire in her heart, and there later comes a point where she attempts to get a little closer to Angy not long after she confides to Chela on her rather flexible sexuality.
While fluidly moving from one episodic moment to another, the movie works as an intimate female character study, and director/writer Marcelo Martinessi did a skillful job of conveying to us Chela's limited and isolated status throughout his film. As the widescreen of 2.35:1 ratio emphasizes the sense of confinement surrounding her, cinematographer Luis Armando Arteaga's camera usually sticks around Chela and a few other substantial characters in the story, and we come to get ourselves more immersed in their small, quiet world, which makes a big contrast with the busy and lively mood of several prison scenes in the film.
Martinessi also draws excellent performances from his main cast members. Ana Brun and Margarita Irún are believable right from their first scene, and Brun, who deservedly received the Silver Bear award for Best Actress at the Berlin International Film Festival early in last year, is terrific particularly when she silently handles her character's anxious feelings during a number of key scenes in the movie. While Irún gets some juicy moments during her prison scenes, Ana Ivanova, María Martins, Alicia Guerra, and Nilda Gonzalez are also solid in their respective supporting roles, and I particularly appreciate how Ivanova and Brun deftly handle their characters' emotional circumstance during their scenes.
"The Heiresses" is the first feature film by Martinessi, who previously made a couple of short films and a documentary short film. Although his achievement here in this movie looks modest on the surface, it surely deserves to be compared with Sebastián Lelio's "Gloria" (2013) in many aspects including their common feminist touches, and it may be regarded as the starting point of another interesting South American filmmaker to watch.

The report accuses Hillary Clinton's former department of "longstanding, systemic weaknesses" in using a private email server for government business.
A federal watchdog has issued a highly critical report of Hillary Clinton's use of a private emails server while head of the State Department.
The 83-page report published by the department's Office of the Inspector General found "longstanding, systemic weaknesses" relating to electronic records keeping, archiving, and poor cybersecurity practices.
The report was started prior to Clinton's appointment in 2009, but had significant focus on her time as secretary of state, a position she left in 2013.
The report said that her use of a private email server was "not an appropriate method" for preserving records and emails, given that the department and its staff were subject to federal rules requiring strict records keeping.
"At a minimum, Secretary Clinton should have surrendered all emails dealing with Department issues before leaving government service," said the report. "Because she did not do so, she did not comply with the Department's policies that were implemented in accordance with the Federal Records Act," it added.
Clinton later provided the records in 2014, a year after her post ended. Dozens of those emails were considered "secret" or the highest level of classification, "top secret."
The former secretary of state is expected to be nominated as the Democratic presidential candidate in the coming weeks.
Clinton, who is currently running for president, said amid the brouhaha on her campaign website that the private email server was not hacked.
"No, there is no evidence there was ever a breach," reads the website. A campaign spokesperson said earlier this year that the Clinton team was "not aware of any evidence whatsoever" that the server had been hacked.
"On January 9, 2011, the non-Departmental advisor to President Clinton who provided technical support to the Clinton email system notified the Secretary's Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations that he had to shut down the server because he believed 'someone was trying to hack us and while they did not get in i didnt [sic] want to let them have the chance to.' Later that day, the advisor again wrote to the Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations, 'We were attacked again so I shut [the server] down for a few min.' On January 10, the Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations emailed the Chief of Staff and the Deputy Chief of Staff for Planning and instructed them not to email the Secretary "anything sensitive" and stated that she could 'explain more in person.'"
It's not clear if any of the attacks were successful, however.
A footnote in the report added that the inspector general "found no evidence that the Secretary or her staff reported these incidents to computer security personnel or anyone else within the Department."
Clinton has long been accused of trying to skirt federal records' keeping rules by using the private server, which was believed to be outside the scope of the Federal Records Act.
"In November 2010, Secretary Clinton and her Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations discussed the fact that Secretary Clinton's emails to Department employees were not being received. The Deputy Chief of Staff emailed the Secretary that 'we should talk about putting you on state email or releasing your email address to the department so you are not going to spam.' In response, the Secretary wrote, 'Let's get separate address or device but I don't want any risk of the personal being accessible.'"
The department's executive secretary said it would provide two devices for Clinton to use, one of which would be subject to information requests, and one that wouldn't. But Clinton's then deputy chief of staff rejected the idea, arguing it "doesn't make a whole lot of sense."
"In one meeting, one staff member raised concerns that information sent and received on Secretary Clinton's account could contain Federal records that needed to be preserved in order to satisfy Federal record keeping requirements. [...] According to the staff member, the Director stated that the Secretary's personal system had been reviewed and approved by Department legal staff and that the matter was not to be discussed any further."
As previously noted, OIG found no evidence that staff in the Office of the Legal Adviser reviewed or approved Secretary Clinton's personal system.
"...the Director stated that the mission of [Office of Information Resources Management] is to support the Secretary and instructed the staff never to speak of the Secretary's personal email system again."
According to Clinton's campaign website, the former secretary of state "directed her attorneys to assist by identifying and preserving all emails that could potentially be federal records."
That was as much help as Clinton would provide. According to a footnote in the report, Clinton declined the inspector general's request for an interview.
Former staffers Huma Abedin, Cheryl Mills, and Jake Sullivan all declined to co-operate with the inspector general's investigation.
We reached out to the Clinton campaign for comment but did not hear back at the time of writing.

Guardiola: Man City Are "Far Behind Liverpool" As Title Race Officially Ends
The City manager lamented the gap that has opened between the two rivals as the Reds secured the Premier League title.
By O.T. Obaisi Jun 26, 2020, 9:00am BST
Share All sharing options for: Guardiola: Man City Are "Far Behind Liverpool" As Title Race Officially Ends
It was a familiar sight for Liverpool supporters watching Manchester City's 2-1 loss to Chelsea on Thursday night: City manager Pep Guardiola swigging from a water bottle, leaning back in a chair, and feigning calm as one of the players he likes to refer to as "defenders" conceded a goal on an unforced mistake.
You know the move:
This time however, City's Benjamin Mendy comedy of errors ending in a Chelsea strike and a Guardiola hydration session handed Liverpool the Premier League title.
It was a fitting end to a season in which one of the greatest Liverpool teams ever forged finally surpassed the most expensive collection of players ever assembled in the league. Pipped by City to title by mere centimeters last term, the Reds have spent the season highlighting the daylight that they have opened up between them and their rivals.
Even Guardiola acknowledged that a gap has appeared amidst a disappointing season that has seen them lose eight times in league play as compared to a solitary defeat for Jürgen Klopp's mentality monsters:
"Liverpool played every single game like it was the last chance they have," Guardiola said following his team's title defense-ending loss to Chelsea.
"And maybe we didn't get that moment, especially the key moments in the first part of the season. That is the reality, that we are so far behind.
"Liverpool were fantastic in consistency throughout the whole season.
"We dropped points at the beginning of the season, and Liverpool didn't drop points.
"We'll have to recover for next season, to be more consistent, and recover the points we missed this season.
"That's the reality. Two years ago we were 25 points ahead of Liverpool, and now they are this distance ahead," the Spaniard continued, throwing in one of his customary passive-aggressive jibes.
"We cannot forget that we won two titles. This is incredible success for us, for the club; the last six, seven, eight years.
"So we have to take a little perspective, be humble, and say 'Not all the time we can win'. And then we must learn what we need to do to avoid this situation again."
Bring it on. Liverpool are back on our f'ing perch and are not particularly interested in conceding it again any time soon.

testis tĕs´tĭs [key] or testicletĕs´tĭkəl [key], one of a pair of glands that produce the male reproductive cells, or sperm. In fetal life the testes develop in the abdomen, then descend into an external sac, the scrotum. A testis is composed of about 800 coiled seminiferous tubules whose linings contain cells that develop into sperm. These tubules merge into a larger tube called the epididymis that leads out of the testis into the vas deferens. Between the seminiferous tubules there is interstitial tissue that secretes the male sex hormone testosterone, which stimulates the development of the male reproductive system and secondary sex characteristics. Sometimes the testes do not descend normally before or shortly after birth and remain in the abdomen or groin. Such a condition requires medical attention or the gland will eventually become sterile. See also reproductive system.

A review of HES pilot projects into the thermal upgrade of traditional homes has been recently completed. The study reviewed the fabric improvements delivered on 18 projects in Scotland since 2010. It found that the work delivered was durable and there were no adverse consequences; energy bills had been reduced and occupiers were generally warmer. The review was necessary to validate the improvement measures developed by HES TRU. This information will contribute to the technical support for the Scottish Government energy efficiency programme and ensure that historic and traditional properties are not damaged through poor energy efficiency interventions.

Q: Landscape mode in Qt-Android application I created a Qt/QML application and ported the application to Android.
Now I'm able to run the application on the Android device.
I want to fix the orientation mode to Landscape.
I manually edited the AndroidManifest.xml and set the android:screenOrientation="unspecified" to android:screenOrientation="sensorLandscape"
<activity
  android:configChanges="orientation|uiMode|screenLayout|screenSize|smallestScreenSize|layoutDirection|locale|fontScale|keyboard|keyboardHidden|navigation"
  android:name="org.qtproject.qt5.android.bindings.QtActivity"
  android:label="Engage"
  android:screenOrientation="sensorLandscape"
  android:launchMode="singleTop">

Each time when I deploy the project, the manifest is overwritten and reset to android:screenOrientation="unspecified"

A: I got a solution for this.
Add a folder  in your project folder. I have named 'android-sources'.
Copy your AndroidManifest.xml from android-build and paste to 'android-sources' folder.
Open .pro file and add the following
OTHER_FILES += \
    android-sources/AndroidManifest.xml
ANDROID_PACKAGE_SOURCE_DIR = $$PWD/android-sources

Then open the AndroidManifest.xml
change the orientation
android:screenOrientation="sensorLandscape"

A: On Qt Forum the following solution is suggested:
Just go to the projects, running, click on details and create androidmanifest.xml, choose a directory. After that add it to your project if it didnt happen automatically and edit it. 4th line should look like this:
@<activity android:screenOrientation="unspecified" android:configChanges="orientation|uiMode|screenLayout|screenSize|smallestScreenSize|locale|fontScale|keyboard|keyboardHidden|navigation" android:name="org.qtproject.qt5.android.bindings.QtActivity" android:label="@string/app_name">@

just change "unspecified" to "sensorLandscape" and save it.
It won't be overwritten every time you deploy.

A: I got the same problem as you, finally I found the solution for this question.
Follow these steps:

*

*Select Projects > Build > Build Android APK > Create Templates.

*Check the path in Android package source directory.

*Select Copy the Gradle files to Android directory if you plan to
extend the Java part of your Qt application

*Select Finish to copy the template files to the android directory
and to open the manifest file for editing.

*In screen orientation field select "SensorLandscape".

A Conversation With Ken Dorph
Annette Hinkle
Ken Dorph and his daughter, Layla.
On Saturday, November 23, at 11 a.m. in conjunction with its production of Lorraine Hansberry's "A Raisin in the Sun," a play about a black family in 1959 Chicago hoping to move out of public housing with a $10,000 windfall, Bay Street Theater will host "Race: Then and Now, There and Here: A Community Discussion." The panelists include clergy and leaders of local African-American nonprofit groups and the discussion was organized by Sag Harbor's Ken Dorph, who recently shared his thoughts about the history of race relations in this country.
Q: "A Raisin in the Sun" made its Broadway debut 60 years ago. Does it still feel relevant, or does it play like a historical piece offering a glimpse into this country's past?
It does both. The family viewed the $10,000 at the center of the story as a fortune, which certainly dates it. Overt racial discrimination was outlawed by the Fair Housing Act of 1968, but the issues raised about African-American identity, family stress, and discrimination feel absolutely current.
Q: The play explores the practice of "redlining" which resulted in segregation of neighborhoods, particularly in northern cities. Can you touch on the long lasting effects of the practice, particularly on Long Island?
The greatest build-up of American wealth happened with the massive investment in the interstate system and the suburban housing boom after WWII. African-Americans, already robbed of their wealth under slavery and Jim Crow, were denied access to this boom. Long Island was set up to enable White Flight — the "Ur" suburb, Levittown, excluded blacks — as did others. The GI bill did not finance blacks. Structures were set in place to disfavor black migration, such as discouraging buses on the Southern State (read "The Powerbroker"). Our globally unique, insane American policy of local real estate taxes paying for schools has led to vastly unequal education levels. Long Island has not only the smallest school districts in the nation but among the most segregated, and growing more segregated.
As a result of this, average African-American income is about 60 percent of white income while African-American wealth is closer to 5 percent. Parental education and wealth are the greatest predictors of the next generation's wealth. We now have one of the lowest rates of upward mobility of advanced nations (Horatio Alger is dead). Instead of compensating our black co-citizens for centuries of theft, we continue to punish them.
"What happens to a dream deferred? Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun?"
Q: Do you think this is a history that most people understand today?
In my experience, few white Long Islanders are aware of the deep history of segregation here and its effects. It is certainly not taught in the schools.
Q: There's a general perception that racist attitudes are more prevalent in the South, but northerners often don't recognize or acknowledge racism in their midst. Can you address that?
I was taught as a child that slavery and racism were 'Southern sins.' Slavery lasted in New York State until 1827. Northerners were both the greatest investors in slavery (see "Traces of the Trade") and beneficiaries. Stolen African-American labor planted the seeds of our industrial revolution, with cotton textiles, and of our financial markets (read "Slavery's Capitalism"). Wall Street was New York's first official slave market and enslaved Africans built the eponymous wall. We are now learning more about slavery here on Long Island, thanks to the good work of efforts like Sylvester Manor and the Plain Sight Project.
The South was forced to desegregate under the 1964 Civil Rights Act while the 1974 Supreme Court case Milliken sanctioned segregated suburbs here in the North. This unchallenged institutional racism has led to greater inequality and segregation in the North.
Q: Given what's happening in the current social and political climate in this country, what message does "A Raisin in the Sun" offer today's audiences?
Americans are generally a fair people. If they know the history they are far less likely to blame the victims.
The family in "A Raisin in the Sun" are humans, with conflicts, doubts, worries, and deep familial love. Good stories, from James Baldwin to the film "Harriet," help to dismantle our racist instincts as we see and feel our common humanity.
Q: Why did you want to organize this panel and what do you hope will come from it?
We are at a unique moment in our history, a juncture. The election of an openly racist President and the growing wealth disparity have caused fair-minded Americans to question many of our basic assumptions about who we are and where we want to go. Caring conversations among neighbors can help calm our fears and give us the strength, ideas, and courage to build a better, more inclusive future.
Following the free hour-long discussion, audience members are encouraged to join panelists for lunch at Page at their own cost. A matinee performance of "A Raisin in the Sun" will begin at 2 p.m. at Bay Street. To purchase tickets, visit baystreet.org.

A Democrat against healthcare policies is a bit like a needle in a haystack.
David Goldhill, the CEO of the Game Show Network, came to Hofstra on April 17 to talk to students about his critique of the American healthcare system and his ideas for its improvement. He also promoted his new book on the subject, entitled Catastrophic Care: How American Healthcare Killed My Father and How We Can Fix It. Goldhill feels that his experience as a businessman, rather than a healthcare professional, allows him to more accurately assess the state of the system in the United States.
As someone who identifies as Democrat, Goldhill set forth his own idea for a solution to the failings of a system he sees as a failing enterprise which does not function efficiently.
"For me, the big problem with healthcare is how do you change the way people think on a subject that seems to be such a…distant, complex,unapproachable subject," Goldhill said.
His healthcare solution, which is essentially to split public and private control of the industry, would increase the efficiency and productiveness of the system overall. Goldhill created this system after the death of his father, which occurred after he obtained an infection after a routine hospitalization. This avoidable inefficiency, said Goldhill during his lecture, is theessence of failing American healthcare that he seeks to avoid.
Students felt that the lecture was informative and enlightening as to the problems and costs that our generation will be facing.
Kevin Tamerler, a junior geography, economics and global studies triple major, felt that the lecture touched upon major issues in this country without sounding complicated or getting bogged down with jargon.
The lecture also received high praise from faculty members. Associate Professor of Political ScienceRichard Himelfarb, one of the people instrumental in bringing Goldhill to campus, felt that the talk provided students with information that was usually inaccessible in a light and understandable way.
Goldhill noted that although he gives relatively few talks at universities on a yearly basis, the lecture setting is one of his favorite ways to promote his ideas.
